Downeast

WOW...... This is really worth your while..... With all the lame movies coming out of Hollywood lately this is a definite throwback to a much better time for movies... Very engrossing...well made and every bit of acting is spot on!!

This is not a Marvel movie. If that's the entertainment you enjoy, this is not for you. If, however, you enjoy a very good story, above average acting, directing, and settings, then you'll really enjoy this hour and a half treat. The ending is unique . . .

Aaand, now for the filler words:

How many words are in a novel? Any work with 40,000 words or more can be considered a fully developed novel. But this differs by genre - the average word count ranges from 58,000 words in erotica to 109,000 for fantasy works.

However, some authors have more questions or even doubts about these numbers. When writing a work of fiction, considering the word count can feel like limiting the creative process. No one wants to feel like their compelling story is constrained by a number.

What first-time authors may not know is that the right word count can: * Improve your chances at a publishing deal.

Solid film from start to finish. Loved the story line with great acting to develop characters you love and hate all at the same time. As dark and heavy as it can get, there's some witty banter along the way that makes this a fun ride. Definitely recommend!

A pretty badly acted movie with stupid dialogues. Boring.

This movie tries so hard to pass Portland off as "the Downeast" and fails so miserably that I can't help but laugh. It also seems to think that smuggling and selling heroin is some kind of big mafia-run operation along the coast when in reality that kind of stuff usually either comes across the border from Canada via air drops or up I-95 from points south (mostly Massachusetts and New York). Heroin isn't even that big in the Downeast, they're way more into pills and crystal meth out that way. This movie basically muddles up Lewiston, Bangor, Portland, the concept of lobstermen, and The Departed into some flatlander's idiotic idea of "the Downeast." Also the only actor who can pull off a Maine accent is Kirk Fox, and he's from California.
